Yeah, I tried to think about this being a possibility but I can't. In his best year he completed 54% of his passes and barely got over 3,000 yards passing while starting all 16 games, then proceeded to be average in the playoffs en route to the Super Bowl.

And don't give me that winner crap, that has to easily be the most overrated stat in all of all of football, especially given the team nature of the game. I mean Drew Brees was one of the best QB's in the league during 2008, throwing for over 5,000 yards and posting a 96 QB rating, yet the Saints were 8-8. Does that mean that Brees was an average QB that year?

Anyway the point is Grossman seems like a decent backup that knows the system but at this point I'd be much more comfortable with Jason behind center. I will say this though about Grossman, he's got a hell of an arm, especially when he's accurate, unfortunately he's only accurate about half the time.
